Quattro Pro 6.0: Problems Setting Up to NetWare drive

ID: Q132656

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you set up Quattro Pro version 6.0 from disks on a computer running Windows version 3.1 and choose a NetWare mapped network drive as the destination drive, Windows 3.1 prompts you to choose whether to set up Quattro Pro as a shared network installation on the server, or to set up Quattro Pro on a local hard drive. This prompt appears just after the setup page that asks for the installation path.

In Windows 95, this prompt does not appear, so that the program is always set up as a single-user installation.

CAUSE

The Quattro Pro Setup program is looking for a Windows 3.x line in the [boot] section of the System.ini file that is removed by Windows 95 Setup. The line in the [boot] section reads as follows:


   [boot]
   SecondNet.drv=netware.drv

RESOLUTION

To work around the behavior, add the line


   SecondNet.drv=netware.drv

to the [boot] section of the System.ini file. The addition of this line does not seem to have any adverse effects on the proper operation of Windows 95.
